I hope so also; however, I'm too pessimistic about Hollywood. I doubt they'd give any recognition to any film that (1) didn't change the Muslim terrorists to Nazi's, and (2) didn't have a "strong, committed loving and persecuted" gay male couple as the heroes.

You claim that the filmmakers would place a "strong gay couple" as the backbone of this film are insulting and you should be ashamed of yourself.
I don't believe that 3cats was talking about the filmmakers. I believe she was talking about Hollyweird. So don't be offended. I too believe that having a "strong gay couple" would have been very offensive. But I am thankful that the director was wise enough to leave Hollywood values out of the movie.
I agree with 3cats. We can only hope that the media and the movie industry would keep more of their offensive ideology out of the movies. I applaud your friend Mr. Paul Greengrass for his ability to accomplish this so well.
As for the deserved recognition for the movie 3cats mentioned -- the media has already started their attempt to call this movie a failure. Take a look a box office mojo and you can see for yourself. Brokeback Mountain gets numbers like this and its an over the top hit. A decent movie made on a small budget without the massive free advertising of Brokeback and after three days they are all ready to call it a flop.
Well, I think they are wrong, but I guess that is just the media doing what it loves to do.
Thank you for the wonderful information in your other posts and welcome to Free Republic.
Would you have been less likely to see the movie if there were a true-life gay couple who were among the heroes?
